I have finished the WD board and its casing.

I used a case initially dedicated for a Raspberry Pi as it had the 2.8" hole for the screen. It was a bit challenging to put everything inside due to the limited volumes, so I had to find some tricks.

Here is the details of the interior:



I had to remove the connector housing I made by crimping wires on contacts because their height in the case was too much.
So I soldered the 4 wires of the temperature sensor directly to the male connector of the PCB and used a telephone cable instead of the ribbon cable that took too much space in the enclosure.
I did the same with the TFT screen connectors: each side of the ribbon had initially a housing with crimped connectors which I had to remove to solder the wires directly on the PCB contacts. It's less "nice" but I had no choice - the case would not close at all otherwise..

Next I wanted to pass a USB cable through the case to power the board so i drilled a hole accordingly. But the cable being positioned at the top of the case and it was ugly - well I was not convinced of the rendering. So, I decided to use a male mini USB plug which I hooked directly to the USB cable. As you can see the previous hole I made for the mini USB connector was useful given the extra length of the mini USB plug

The screen is screwed on the panel from behind.

And now the finished product!



The temperature sensor is glued on the side as follows:



The antenna adds a bit of weight and moved the gravity center a bit behind - so I have to maintain it against my lamp for now



And of course the enclosure keys are functional: I have glue a special push button behind to get my display working



That's it !
